- What I'd like to see, based on what I know now, is 'text/html' become
- a MIME content type and the WWW code retrofitted to handle MIME
- documents as a base type. Then essentially a raw HTML document would
- become the degenerate case for WWW (implicitly text/html).
-
- It is important that other datatypes can be inlined in a document,
- which is what MIME allows (as opposed to just allowing ordinary links
- to GIF files, or something similar).
